How the First Folio Saved the Plays of William Shakespeare from Oblivion
Ms. Bausum provides insight how a group of men collected Shakespeare's plays to create a folio. With humor and a conversational tone, Ms. Bausum engages the reader. She weaves in other fascinating facts about book printing, book binding, spelling, golden retreivers, the Farting Folio(!!!), the couple who created the Folger Shakespeare Library . . . and many more historical tidbits! I loved reading this account.
*Highly recommend. Definitely add this book as a resource when studying Shakespeare and his works.
-Borrowed from the library.
